I turned up the fuel, I just did whatever was recomended in the banks instructions, so probably an eighth of a turn. i'm generally towing loads closer to 8000-10000 pounds, but not for real long distances, just for moving logs and a small tractor around. I have had 14000 pounds behind my...

I've never seen the egts get out of the 900 degree range, I know i've never seen it over 1000, but I don't push it real hard either. Cruising around at 55-65 i run 3-4 pounds of boost which I have atributed to the higher rpms owing to the low gearing, with a heavy load at the same speed...

Hello folks, I have an 85 1008 that has the banks turbo system, and a 4l80 od transmission. It still has the 4.56 gears as well. I know that even with the turbo the 6.2 is not making big power, but I figure if its making 350-375 ft lbs at a fairly low rpm with 4.56 gears it should have similar...

The Saga continues..... So, here is what I found out today- I can actually get the truck to run, but I have to get it well primed first- this thing is definately sucking a ton of air. So, I had a big filter sitting around like what you would put between a tank and a transfer pump, I figured I...

Thanks Jozseph, I am reading through that and its already given me a wealth of information that I did not have before, and I'm just getting into it. Quick update: apparently I am to dumb to use the fancy fuel pressure gauge rental from o'reiley, or its broken. anyway, I tried using that gauge...

SO, the truck has been parked for a while, I just haven't had a chance to work on it till now. I rented a fuel preasure gauge from O'reiley, and while I am getting fuel up do the filter, when I checked the psi it was not even enough to register on the gauge. now unless I used the gauge wrong in...

So, I just went opened the bleeder valve on my filter houseing and I definately have fuel coming up (although the fuel coming out of the clear plastic house appeard to have bubble in it in the tube.. so maybe that is the problem?) Also, I cracked two injector lines just to make sure that I was...

We have a local shop with a good reputation that rebuilds pumps and injectors, if i end up needing one rebuilt I'll probably go that route.

So a while back I started a thread about an intermittent starting problem with 85 m1008. It would occasionally sit there and crank and crank and just would absolutely not fire up. Well, I figured out that I had a bad glow plug relay, so I replaced that and has been starting fine since... that is...

thanks for the info. I replaced the relay yesterday, and it is starting up much much easier now. That being said, I am still only seeing about 10 volts on the bottom post of the relay, is that normal? I am wondering if it might have something to do with my one bad glow plug (I think I only have...

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum, and fairly new to the CUCV's. I've had a civillian 6.2 in an 89 suburban for a number of years, so I am fairly familiar with the motors, but about 9 months or so ago I picked up my first m1008 with about 26K miles on it. It now has a banks turbo on it, and...
